Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 47:5-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 47 in context

Scripture Focus

5Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?

6O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

Jeremiah 47:5-6

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 47:5-6 speaks of external turmoil and a call to inner quiet; the 'sword of the LORD' must be sheathed so life can rest in the I AM.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah names the inner world in a way you can recognize. Gaza and Ashkelon stand for worn-out outer forms and the valley of lingering thoughts. Baldness marks the stripping away of a self-image; the sword of the LORD is the living movement of your thoughts that seems to cut and judge. Yet the instruction is not to force change but to quiet the instrument, sheath the sword, and rest in the I AM—the constant awareness. When you dwell in that stillness, outer scenes rearrange to harmonize with your inner state. The sword grows still; judgments soften; fear vanishes into quiet confidence. You are not asked to conquer; you are asked to stop acting as separate will and permit the inner God-self to move. Make a clear inner revision: I am still; I am the I AM; this entire world is consciousness. Then let imagination shape circumstance from that divine posture.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and imagine the sword sheathed at your side; affirm 'I am still and aware.' Then proceed as if this inner posture is already your daily life.
